You’re welcome, Leila. Thank you for sharing how vividly you saw the relationship between the new self ad the old self because of your own experience. Glad to have you along.

Maria, thank you for sharing this. I especially liked the part of your new self going back five years and the probablility of your old self not noticing you as she struggled along. I could see my new self looking at my old self also not noticing as I struggled along.

Welcome, Rebecca, and thank you for this thoughtful comment. It is an honor and a pleasure to be able to write these posts and share them here, and I really appreciate knowing you are sharing them with others and your family, too. It is so great to hear of how you and your husband have changed your lives by eating well, and that you are now teaching other members of your family how to do the same. It’s a gift to me to be even a small part of that process.

And thank you for your understanding of where your Mom is at with such clarity and compassion, and for understanding so deeply what I was saying about my self in that position. I am glad to know what I say is relevant for those on any part of the health spectrum.

Thank you for you inspirational posts, Moonwatcher. I have shared them with several friends already, and will share this one in particular with my family. In the past year, my husband and I have changed our lives by eating well, and now are teaching our children, my brothers, and their families how to live life differently with the food that we eat.
We are now all praying that my mom will see the changes that are being worked and make the choice herself to eat well. I can see her struggling with not being able to look up from her life in much the same way you describe, simply because her health is taking so much focus.
You turned your life around, and your perspective is incredibly encouraging…for those on any part of the health spectrum.

Welcome, Ginny! Thank you for this lovely comment. I’m so glad you enjoy reading my blog.(Believe it or not, I’m a bit of a Mrs. Magoo when it comes to internet technology, too, I think you did great! And here is the direct link to my blog, if that helps: https://fatfreevegan.com/slowmiracle/) Thanks for sharing some about you and your husband and thejourney you are both making toward being more plant-based. It’s a unique process for each of us. Congratulations on your weight loss, too! It’s great you are pushing your health envelope the way you are. I am sorry to hear about your sister-in-law and her difficulties with MS. It’s lovely that you pray for her and reach out to her as much as you can. A very Happy Thanksgiving to you too!!
